“Shipwrecked VBS – Rescued by Jesus!” is the theme of the 2018 Vacation Bible School (VBS). The annual summer bible school is right around the corner and local churches will once again combine their efforts to organize VBS.
“Imagine a world where curious kids are taken to an unchartered island and Rescued by Jesus! All children who have completed junior kindergarten to those who have completed Grade 5 are welcome to join this amazing adventure,” organizers state.
VBS will run from July 9 to 13 at the Drayton Reformed Church located at 74 Wellington Street from 9 to 11:30am each morning. VBS is offered free through the local churches.
“This is a great way for your children to feel a part of your community, meet other kids, and learn about Jesus,” officials state.
Kids at Shipwrecked VBS will be invited to bring donations to support the local food bank.
On the last morning of VBS the community is invited to join in at 11am for a presentation of what the children have learned throughout the week.
Organizers note VBS cannot run without volunteers. Anyone who can help for a day or two or the whole week is encouraged to get in touch with VBS organizers. Any teens who are interested in helping can count this time as volunteer high school hours.
Anyone unable to volunteer but still wishing to help could donate a gift card from the local grocery store to help purchase snacks for the week. Gift cards can be given to VBS representative at local churches or dropped off at the Drayton Reformed Church during regular office hours.
